The False Foundations of Modern Science

Most of us have no idea just how much of the modern scientific establishment that we believe to be grounded 100% in scientific veracity and truth-seeking is actually built on the flimsiest foundation of conjecture and dogma.

Much of modern science – maybe even most of modern science – is built on theories that were floated around in the 1800s, and seemed to be ‘true’ enough then to be accepted, but which have subsequently been shown to be completely false.

Some sciences, notably physics, have been able to move with the times, and to free themselves from the shackles of this ‘wishful thinking’ from the past. But much – maybe even most – of modern science is still firmly hitched behind these myths, building ever-taller houses of cards around ‘axiomatic’ principles that are simply completely untrue.

One such example of this is the theory of evolution, which I wrote about a little while ago here, here and here.

Douglas Axe demolished the theory of evolution, and the theory of natural selection, in one fell swoop, when his recent experiments with folding proteins showed that the amount of time it would take to get EVEN ONE useful mutation in a living organism is a number so large, the world would have to be many trillions of years’ older than the already ridiculously inflated numbers being bandied about by ‘truthful science’.

The theory of evolution is a mathematical impossibility. Full stop.

But try telling that to a biologist, or a doctor, and see how far you get.

What many people aren’t aware of, though, is that Darwin in turn built his deceitfully false ‘scientific theories’ on another utterly false premise that was introduced by his teacher and colleague, Sir Charles Lyell.

Lyell was a lawyer and a geologist who wrote a book called Principles of Geology, where he spent an awful lot of time trying to prove black was really white. His big ‘contribution’ to the false foundation of modern science came to be known as the ‘principle of uniformity’.

In a nutshell, Lyell went around persuading his fellow ‘scientists’ at the local geology mens’ club in Victorian London that:

“no process took place in the past that is not taking place in the present.”

The principle of uniformity also states that:

“not only nature, but the intensity of physical phenomena of our age are the criteria of what could have happened in the past.”

While even a cursory reading of this statement must surely call forth a big question mark in even the most unscientific reader – I mean really? Should we believe a holocaust never happened 70 years ago because we can’t see it happening today?

Or that Vesuvius and Mount Etna never really exploded, because now they are quiet? Or that the Tsunami from a few years’ ago never ripped through Asia, because today the sea is quiet?

But apparently, the scientific minds of Victorian England were much easier to convince that this clap-trap was true, despite the fact that the geologists of that time – including Lyell himself – could clearly see from the rock formations they were finding that the earth had been through a great many violent upheavals in its past that current observations of how nature apparently worked simply couldn’t explain.

To quote Immanuel Velikovsky, someone who I hope to introduce you to properly in a future post, Lyell:

“acknowledged that the surface of the globe has the appearance of having been subjected to great and violent sudden changes, but he believed that the record is incomplete and that the major part of the evidence is lost.”

I.E., Lyell spun the story that his theory was correct, but the ‘facts’ that would prove it hadn’t yet been found. A couple of decades’ later, Darwin trotted that trick out again – and modern evolutionary scientists are continuing to razzle dazzle the unsuspecting public with it – by claiming that his theories were also true, but the facts that would prove it (most notably in the fossil record) simply hadn’t turned up yet.

Guess what: It’s now 150 years’ later, and they still haven’t turned up, not for the theory of uniformity, and not for the theory of evolution.

But that won’t stop many, maybe even most ‘scientists’ trying to fit every piece of information they discover into these two hugely deceitful boxes, and discarding anything that doesn’t fit the twin paradigms of uniformity and evolution.

Why should you care about all this stuff? How is it affecting you, and your life?

Great question!

In a nutshell, uniformity – the principle that nothing ever really changes, and that the earth must be incredibly, unbelievably old to have achieved ANY of the changes that we see in our planet, given how we see nature apparently working today – was put in place to counter a belief in what came to be known as ‘catastrophism’.

As the name suggests, ‘catastrophism’ suggests that enormous changes, enormous catastrophes, even ‘extra-terrestial’ catastrophes took place even in the recent past, and could easily happen again at any moment.

Let’s be clear that the fossil record, the archeological records and the geological records ALL bear this out. Let’s also be clear that our own Torah, and the midrashim, and other holy Jewish writings also state this explicitly (and you can remind yourself of some of those sources HERE.)

What was Noah’s flood, and the plagues of Egypt, and the dispersion of the builders of the Tower of Babel, if not enormous natural disasters that directly affected mankind all over the planet?

Do you know how many smashed animal fossils have been found in rock strata, crevices and caverns all over the world? Do you know how many ‘underwater’ forests there are, when dry land became the sea and vice-versa? Do you know how many deposits of marine fossils have been found on the tops of the highest mountains? Do you know that many scientists believe that the range of mountains that includes Everest is less than 4,000 years old, because that’s what the geological and scientific evidence actually shows, when all the lies are cleared out the way?

Unless you’re really researching this issue, you’ll have no idea, and you’ll for sure believe that the world is 4.5 billion years old (at least….)

– although as we mentioned, even that amount of time is not enough for an amoeba to morph into…anything, actually.

But the ‘scientifically’ minded gentlemen back in Victorian London weren’t interested in proving the Torah right, or proving God’s existence – quite the opposite – which is why their scientific theories went all-out to try to prove ‘black’ is really ‘white’ – and that’s still happening today.

Geologists will tell you that the world is billions of years’ old, because the idea that ‘something’ – call it the hand of Hashem, call it a huge, planet-sized comet – came and literally turned the world upside-down repeatedly, even in modern times, is simply too hard for them to accept.

So all the chaos and destruction and different ‘worlds’ that were created and destroyed by God – 974 times altogether, in the 2000 years preceding the creation of our world, 5777 years’ ago – is magicked billions of years’ away into the past by the collective scientific imagination that ascribes all changes to the gentle trickling of water, and the quiet accumulation of dust.

That still doesn’t describe HOW or WHY any of this stuff actually happened, but it reassures everyone that it definitely WON’T happen again. Not in our times. Not with modern science at the helm of the human endeavor.

And it banishes God, and God’s plan for humanity, firmly out of the picture.

Moshiach is coming. Global redemption is not so far away. The world is going to change, and change radically. Modern science, modern society, would have you believe that that’s all a fairy tale, and that the world will continue along the same path, just with more technological gizmos, for another 4.5 billion years…(which is maybe long enough for the atheists to evolve a brain cell that actually works and can do maths.)

But they’re lying!

We live in a world where the Himalayas appeared literally overnight! Where the world was flooded to the point of extinction in less than six weeks! Where hundreds, even thousands of different species of animals disappeared literally overnight, when hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanoes ripped the earth to pieces.

That could happen again, so easily.

God is so awesome.

We need to take Him, and His Torah, seriously.

And we need to know that modern science is built on a foundation of deceit, conjecture and atheism, designed to keep the public away from believing in God, and believing in the eternal truth of the Torah.

But days are coming when all the denial, all the fancy polemics, all the evolutionary theories, and belief in uniformity are going to crumble in the face of a new reality that will prove once and for all that God, and only God, is in charge – and really, He always has been.
